Two Big Events happening in Dunnottar this coming weekend - July 25 & 26, 2015.
Water Awareness Day, and Walk for Water
Water Awareness Day:
Saturday July 25, 2015
Matlock Recreation Centre.
10 to 5
Keynote Speaker - Maude Barlow at 3:00
Walk For Water Date: Sunday, July 26 -
Lake Winnipeg Foundation website Much more information plus pledge forms available
Location: Dunnottar Community Club
Registration: 9:15 a.m.; Walk begins at 10:00 a.m.
Distance: 5 km
Walk for Water is the largest grassroots fundraising event in support of a healthy Lake Winnipeg. Taking place in several lakeside communities, it's a great way to be a part of the solution — and a fun way to spend a day at the lake!
We're thrilled to welcome two celebrity participants to the 2015 Dunnottar walk: Canadian water advocate Maude Barlow and emerging local country music artist Leanne Pearson! Leanne will be playing a short acoustic set after the walk; if you're one of her many fans, make sure to stick around to hear her!
We've got some amazing prizes lined up for this year's event! The participant who raises the highest amount will win a one-night stay at Waterfront Centre, while the person who raises the second-highest amount will win a free paddle-board lesson (courtesy of Winnipeg Canoe Rental)! We're also giving a prize to the person who collects the most pledges: two Saturday passes to the 2015 Matlock Festival of Music, Art & Nature! Plus, we'll have some fabulous door prizes to give away, too! Thank you so much to our prize donors for supporting us in our fundraising efforts!
